I received the following alert when I signed into the Azure portal:
I attempted to follow the steps it suggested, and ended up using entra.microsoft.com to attempt to set up a “conditional access policy.”
But as you can see above, the button to create a new policy is disabled, and I seem to get a nudge to upgrade to Entra ID Premium. Is premium required to enable MFA? I’m just trying to be compliant with the upcoming change.
Thanks for any advice.
Adding for posterity:
- My Azure subscription is connected not connected to an “organizational” account.
- My own account does have MFA enabled. Was trying to understand what further action, if any, was being prompted by this message.

AFAIK, enabling the MFA for individual users is a free feature in Azure Entra.
If you require more advanced MFA Capabilities such as
- Conditional access
- Risk based authentication
- Phone based mfa (call/sms)
- Authentication methods
- monitoring and reporting
- Advanced security
Then you need to consider purchasing Entra ID Premium.
